[lug] DualBoot: Redhat 7.2 and WindowsXP

[luke p]

I have that current set up working, though it was before a win2k and rh 7.2, 
just when I set up my partitions on a large hd, i had to put just a 50 mb 
linux boot partition at the front of the drive(before the 1024 cylinder 
mark), then my ntfs partion, then after that all my linux partitions.
either that or add the line 'lba32' into lilo.conf (i think thats all to 
that)
